Cheshire Damp Proofing provides a comprehensive damp-proof course (DPC) service to protect your property from rising damp. Rising damp occurs when moisture from the ground travels up through the walls of a building, which can lead to structural damage, peeling paint, and mold growth if left untreated. Our damp-proof course acts as a horizontal barrier within the walls, effectively preventing moisture from seeping upward through the structure.
In addition to DPC for walls, we also offer the installation of damp-proof membranes (DPM) for solid floors. A DPM serves a similar purpose, creating a moisture-resistant barrier beneath flooring to prevent dampness from rising into the property. While moisture resistance isn’t always absolute, our systems are designed to meet specific test methods and engineering standards to ensure optimal performance and long-lasting protection.
In simpler terms, both DPC and DPM are essential measures to stop dampness in buildings, ensuring a dry and healthy environment. Whether you’re dealing with rising damp in walls or need protection for solid floors, our expert team is here to provide the best solutions tailored to your property.
